People do occasionally encounter legitimate dealers online and obtain the finest discounts. The woman in today’s story also trusted the seller, but when she brought her purchase inside her home, something unexpected happened.

In 2020, a devastated orphan decides to sell his parents’ furniture on Facebook Marketplace after their deaths. To begin, he decided to sell their Amish-crafted bedroom set.

He photographed the bed set from every angle, attempting to capture its beauty. He then uploaded the photos to Facebook and created an ad with a compelling description.

He received a notification on his phone almost immediately. Someone had seen his Facebook ad and wanted to get in touch with him.

Laural Jaecks of Oak Creek saw the De Pere couple’s furnishings on Facebook and immediately messaged their son. The set’s price was what drew her in the most. For a few hundred dollars, she was getting a high-quality Amish-made bed set.

There were several such envelopes in the chamber, not just one.Jaecks and her husband planned to go to the man’s residence to see the furniture in person. When she arrived at the seller’s residence, he showed them the bed set and explained each compartment. He had no idea that he had overlooked a concealed compartment with a few of envelopes.

Jaecks was confident she wanted to buy the bed set after attentively analyzing it. She asked the seller if he would sell it for $325, and he accepted, much to her surprise.

Jaecks and her husband moved the used bed set into their home after making the final payment. The woman was looking forward to putting it in her bedroom. She said:

“The Amish produce excellent work.”

Jaecks and her husband discovered another hidden compartment in the headboard when transporting the bed set into their bedroom. They were certain the merchant had not previously shown it to them.

They checked the box out of curiosity and were astounded to find envelopes within. There were several such envelopes in the chamber, not just one.

Jaecks and her husband opened the envelopes one by one, unaware that they had won the lottery. Each package contained a $100 banknote. Jaecks remembered: READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“We’ll be up to $11,000 in no time,” says the detective.

In the secret chamber, Jaecks discovered some papers in addition to the envelope. They were bank paperwork bearing the names of the deceased couple. Jaecks recognized she couldn’t keep the money at that time.

She contacted the vendor right away and informed him of the money she discovered in the headboard’s hidden compartment. When the seller learned how much money Jaecks had found, he said:

“Well, I’m surprised you called to inform me about it.”

Because the money wasn’t hers, Jaecks said she felt lighter after returning it to the couple’s youngster. She continued:

“My conscience is clear.”

When the vendor got the money, he gave Jaecks a portion of it as a gift for her honesty. He hadn’t anticipated the woman returning his money.

If you were in Jaeck’s shoes, what would you do? Would you keep the $11,000 you discovered in the concealed compartment of the headboard?

How The People of Ara-Ekiti Committed Mass Suicide To Avoid Enslavement in 1855

Published

on

By

The mass suicide was initiated by the leader of Ara town, Alara Elejofi, who (with the help of his first son) destroyed his properties, killed his family and himself. Many other households in the town replicated this act, and when the Ibadan army arrived with their wide array of weaponry, they turned back at the gory sight of dead bodies that littered the town…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Earlier, the people of Ara had rebelled against their former Alara (ruler) because of his bad governance and the grevious offences he had committed against his townspeople. He was exiled. It was during his exile that Chief Elejofi took over the rulership of the town.

The exiled Alara was not willing to let go of his throne and thus sought help from Ibadan. His request was granted because Ibadan, which as at then was gradually filling the vacuum created by the fall of Oyo, was hungry for towns to shove under its administration. The Ibadan army had just returned from an expedition in Ijebu-Ere and with their help, the deposed Alara returned to Ara and was fearfully accepted.

Shortly after Ibadan restored the deposed Alara of Ara, its army attacked Ikoro, another town in Ekiti, because they prevented Ibadan army from foraging on their crops, and also because there were rumours that Ikoro was planning to attack the Ibadan army.

During the attack on Ikoro, some other towns in Ekiti, including Ara-Ekiti, tried to defended Ikoro. The restored Alara prevented his townspeople from joining the fight against Ibadan, hence another unrest ensued in the town. Ibadan eventually defeated Ikoro and went ahead to punish the towns that helped Ikoro during the war, including Ara. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

During this period, Chief Elejofi had again taken over the rulership of Ara and held on to it for some months before it eventually crumbled due to starvation, and to avoid being enslaved by Ibadan, the people of Ara-Ekiti committed an unprecedented mass suicide. This incident is quite similar to the mass suicide of Igbo slaves off the U.S. coast in 1803.

The town of Ara was left deserted for many years before some of its exiled descendants returned home. Ara suicide remains one of the most disturbing chapters in the history of Ekiti and the entire Yoruba land.

Both the mother and her boyfriend abused the child for three weeks after she asked him to help discipline the girl. She claimed he forced her daughter to put dog fe-es in her mouth as he screamed at her. The mother also said that her boyfriend stuffed a sock soaked in ur-ne into the girl’s mouth and then pulled it out so aggressively that two of her teeth fell out, officials have said.

During an interview with investigators, the mother also said that her boyfriend repeatedly struck Mercedes with belts and his hands, which were covered with rings. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
